Abstract

The present disclosure includes a method of establishing a stable Piconet based on Bluetooth. The method includes: serving a central device as a slave and serving peripheral devices as a master, establishing a Piconet, and recording the state of the peripheral devices linking to the central device; and performing automatic inquiry and identification matching; if an identification is matched, pulling in all of the peripheral devices, and establishing the stable Piconet in the central device. The central device can be connected without setting up any peripheral devices, which is quite convenient for the users.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of establishing a stable Piconet based on Bluetooth, comprising steps of:
serving a central device as a slave and as a discoverable role, serving a first peripheral device as a master for inquiry and linking the central device according to a Bluetooth logical link control and adaptation protocol (L2CAP), establishing a Piconet with a single slave, providing a Bluetooth address of the first peripheral device to the central device after the successful connection, and recording the state of the first peripheral device actively linking the central device;
serving the central device as the slave and as the discoverable role, serving a second peripheral device as a master for inquiry and linking the central device according to the L2CAP, establishing a Scatternet, providing a Bluetooth address of the second peripheral device to the central device after the successful connection, and recording the state of the second peripheral device actively linking the central device;
disconnecting the first peripheral device and the second peripheral device from the central device network, reentering the inquiry range of the central device, performing automatic inquiry and identification matching in the central device, requesting the first peripheral device and the second peripheral device to be linked according to the L2CAP if an identification is matched, pulling in the first peripheral device and the second peripheral device, and establishing a stable Piconet with dual slaves;
serving the central device as the slave and as the discoverable role, serving one or more than one of a third peripheral device, a fourth peripheral device, a fifth peripheral device, a sixth peripheral device, and a seventh peripheral device as a master for inquiry and linking the central device according to the L2CAP, and establishing the Scatternet;
performing automatic inquiry and identification matching, requesting all of the peripheral devices to be connected if an identification is matched, pulling in all of the peripheral devices, and establishing the stable Piconet in the central device when all of the peripheral devices are disconnected from central device network and reenter an inquiry range of the central device; and
backing up tables about operational types and operational results locally in the central device and all of the peripheral devices after the stable Piconet is completely established, and the central device's controlling working activities of the peripheral devices.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein steps of the central device's controlling the working activities of the peripheral devices comprise:
using a mobile terminal to send a customized control/request message to the peripheral devices through the central device at Internet network remote control to further control the peripheral devices;
analyzing a Bluetooth (BT) Address in the message and matching a local Bluetooth Address after receiving the message sent by the central device, perform corresponding operations if the BT Address matches the local Bluetooth Address successfully, and do not perform any operations if the BT Address does not match the local Bluetooth Address.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of disconnecting all of the peripheral devices from the central device network, reentering the inquiry range of the central device, and performing automatic inquiry and identification matching in the central device further comprises: sending a first message and data package in a Payload format to the peripheral devices, the first message and data package comprising a field of a byte length of the message, a field of a Bluetooth object receiving the message, a field of an operational type of the message, and a field of a delayed duration of the message.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein when the central device performs automatic inquiry and identification matching and sends the message and data package in the Payload format to the peripheral devices, the peripheral devices analyze the field of the Bluetooth object receiving the message in the message and data package; when the two match, the peripheral devices send a second message and data package in the Payload format to the central device, wherein the second message and data package comprises a field of a byte length of the message, a field of a Bluetooth address of the peripheral devices, and a field of an operational result.

5. A method of establishing a stable Piconet based on Bluetooth, comprising steps of:
serving a central device as the slave and as a discoverable role, serving a first peripheral device as a master for inquiry and linking the central device according to a Bluetooth logical link control and adaptation protocol (L2CAP), establishing a Piconet with a single slave, providing a Bluetooth address of the first peripheral device to the central device after the successful connection, and recording the state of the first peripheral device actively linking the central device;
serving the central device as the slave and as the discoverable role, serving a second peripheral device as a master for inquiry and linking the central device according to the L2CAP, establishing a Scatternet, providing a Bluetooth address of the second peripheral device to the central device after the successful connection, and recording the state of the second peripheral device actively linking the central device;
disconnecting the first peripheral device and the second peripheral device from the central device network, reentering an inquiry range of the central device, performing automatic inquiry and identification matching in the central device, requesting the first peripheral device and the second peripheral device to be linked according to the L2CAP in an identification is matched, pulling in the first peripheral device and the second peripheral device, and establishing a stable Piconet with dual slaves;
serving the central device as the slave and as the discoverable role, serving one or more than one of a third peripheral device, a fourth peripheral device, a fifth peripheral device, a sixth peripheral device, and a seventh peripheral device as masters for inquiry and linking the central device according to the L2CAP, and establishing the Scatternet;
performing automatic inquiry and identification matching, requesting all of the peripheral devices to be connected if an identification is matched, pulling in all of the peripheral devices, and establishing the stable Piconet in the central device when all of the peripheral devices are disconnected from central device network and reenter the inquiry range of the central device; and
backing up tables about operational types and operational results locally in the central device and all of the peripheral devices after the stable Piconet is completely established, and the central device's controlling working activities of the peripheral devices.

6. The method of claim 5 , after the step of establishing the stable Piconet in the central device when all of the peripheral devices are disconnected from central device network and reenter an inquiry range of the central device, the method further comprising:
backing up the same tables about operational types and operational results locally in the central device and all of the peripheral devices after the stable Piconet is completely established.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the step of disconnecting all of the peripheral devices from the central device network, reentering the inquiry range of the central device, and performing automatic inquiry and identification matching in the central device further comprises: sending a first message and data package in a Payload format to the peripheral devices, the first message and data package comprising a field of a byte
